Review
‘This is the book to buy.’ Thomas Golsong, Corporate Identity Manager, BP Amoco

‘… how could the level and scope of services you provide to your members be improved by making use of the Internet? This book is a good place to start if you are looking for answers to these and other related questions.’ Association Management

Product Description
The Business of Ecommerce provides a guide to the types of business that companies can conduct over the Web, and it explains how they can go about building systems to support these initiatives. Business and technology decision-makers will learn all they need to know about the entire field of Ecommerce. Paul May combines his experience as a consultant to blue chip companies with his experience with startups and presents the best of what the two cultures have to offer. He provides a generic model for understanding Ecommerce opportunities, and he explores key application areas that readers can exploit in the real world. The book gathers together all of the relevant technologies and makes them accessible to the reader by explaining each of the key technical topics and issues. This book empowers the decision-maker to make better use of the opportunities of Ecommerce.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the absolute must-have book of ecommerce, 16 May 2001
By A Customer
I think the previous reviewer must have been reading a different book! I picked up this book along with a whole pile of others about ecommerce, and ended up reading it from cover to cover, discarding all the others. If you want to buy just one book about ecommerce, then get this one. It covers everything you'll ever need to know (from B2B to XML, and loads more..). It gives both short overviews and detailed explanations of ecommerce concepts, technologies and opportunities. It is bang up to date, and also gives an insight into the ecommerce of the future, talking about many of the emerging technologies and concepts. It provides information for both technical and non-technical readers. The book also includes a wide range of references and links to other useful sources. It is extremely readable without the need for any previous detailed understanding of the subject; and very well written in a clean, clear style. I found this book both informative and inspiring, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to know about ecommerce.

1.0 out of 5 stars I was not impressed at all by this book, 28 Feb 2001
By mathsbrain@yahoo.com (Tunbridge Wells, England) - See all my reviews
This is one of the worst books it has ever been my displeasure to read. It is full of jargon, long words and meaningless hype. Not only did I find it totally uninformative, but as a textbook that I had to read for a university course, it was unhelpful and very frustrating...
